On the Analysis of a Repeated Measure Design in Genome-Wide Association Analysis
Longitudinal data enables detecting the effect of aging/time, and as a repeated measures design is statistically more efficient compared to cross-sectional data if the correlations between repeated measurements are not large. In particular, when genotyping cost is more expensive than phenotyping cost, the collection of longitudinal data can be an efficient strategy for genetic association analysis. However, in spite of these advantages, genome-wi…
Reciprocal causal influences among malnutrition, growth retardation, and diarrhea in preschool children
Structural regression models are applied to longitudinal data to study reciprocal causal influences between malnutrition and infection in preschool children. Two models of three waves (time periods) are applied: a two‐variable model, the variables being acute malnutrition and diarrhea; and a three‐variable model, which includes chronic malnutrition as a third variable. Malnutrition is measured by standardized weight for age and standardized heigh…
Relationship of Hassles, Uplifts, and Life Events to Psychological Weil-Being of Freshman Medical Students
Hassles, uplifts, and life events were related to psychological well-being with a representative sample of 55 (of 179) freshman medical students. Students were sent measures of hassles, uplifts, and affect-moods measures for 9 consecutive months and a measure of life stress at the beginning and middle of the school year. The hassles measure was found to be a better predictor of concurrent and subsequent negative mood than was the life stress meas…
Association and linkage between genetic markers and morphological and behavioral attributes in dizygotic twins
In a sample of 51 like‐sex DZ twin pairs (22 male, 29 female) 49 quantitative traits were analyzed for association with, and linkage to, each of 7 informative blood systems. Nine associations were found to be significant at the 0.01 level, and a further 27 significant at the 0.05 level, whereas the numbers expected to be significant by chance alone are about 3 and 17 respectively. The most consistent associations are those of Rh with the scores o…
Racial difference in incidence of ABO hemolytic disease
In this review of 7,464 consecutive infants born at North Carolina Memorial Hospital, hemolytic disease from ABO incompatibility was found to be two to three times as common in black infants as in white infants. The statistical significance of the difference remained high as more restrictive criteria for ABO hemolytic disease were applied. ABO disease, serious enough to cause an indirect serum bilirubin of 15 mg/100ml or higher, had an incidence …
Genetic contributions to morphological and behavioral similarities among sibs and dizygotic twins: Linkages and allelic differences
The Seminole Indians of Oklahoma: Morphology and serology
Two hundred and sixty‐three Indians aged six and above were studied in Oklahoma for blood types, hemoglobin types, and physical traits; 53% were Seminoles and the remainder were admixed with Creek or other populations. The results indicate that they resemble the Florida Seminoles in most of their serologic traits. In physical traits they are comparable to the group studied by Krogman two decades ago. Compared with the Florida Seminoles, the Oklah…
The Seminole Indians of Florida: Morphology and serology
The Seminole Indians of Florida were studied on their three reservations for blood types, red cell enzymes, serum proteins, physical measurements, and relationships. Both serologic and morphologic factors suggest their close similarity to other Indians and small amount of admixture. The Florida Seminoles are similar to Cherokee “full‐bloods” in their absence of Rho and their incidence of O and M. In the presence of Di a they are similar to other …
